Steve Nash is one of the craftiest and best point guards to ever play basketball and skipped the opportunity to play professional soccer for a shot in the NBA. Nash was drafted twelfth overall by the Phoenix Suns in what could be the most legendary NBA Draft to date in 1996. Throughout his illustrious career, Steve Nash was able to earn two MVP trophies in back-to-back years in 2005 and 2006 and received NBA All-Star honors eight times throughout his nineteen-year career.
Nash was able to lead multiple teams to the NBA Western Conference Finals including both the Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns but could never get over the hump in the tough conference. He's one of the most precise shooters the NBA has ever seen and his playmaking ability is something that just can't be taught. Nash was and still is known as a floor leader who made his teammates better and he currently works with the Golden State Warriors as a players consultant.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
